 ✅ COMPATIBILITY WITH FACEPUNCH NEW POLICY

As some of you may already know, Facepunch has updated its server policies regarding the distribution of paid content.
Servers are no longer allowed to provide paid Skins or DLC for free to players who have not purchased them legitimately.

You can read the updated policy here: 🔗 https://facepunch.com/legal/servers

Because of this, BetterTC has been updated to fully comply with the new guidelines:

✅ Skin ownership validation added:

Only the following will be shown or usable:

  • Building skins, Tool Cupboard (TC) skins, and Wallpapers that the player legitimately owns in their Steam inventory.
  • Any existing free skins.

Key notes:

  • All available building skins will still be shown, but players can only use them for upgrading or reskinning if they own them or they are free.
  • Only free, custom, and owned wallpapers will be visible. More custom wallpapers coming soon.
  • TC skins will only be visible and selectable if the player owns them.

✅ New configuration option:

Quote

  "Bypass DLC ownership check (⚠ only allowed on creative/test servers per Facepunch rules)": false,

⚠️ VERY IMPORTANT

This option should only be enabled on creative or training servers. Using it on public PvP or PvE servers violates Facepunch’s policies and may result in your server being penalized or blacklisted.
You’ve been warned!

is there going to be the jungle stone dlc option added for people that own it? I dont see it listed in the config nor when i click the check update button

 

Hi! This is strange, I'd recommend deleting the configuration and regenerating it. Or, if you don't want to delete everything, empty the contents of

"Items": []

like this, empty inside, so the plugin adds everything again.

Might be worth adding a note on your product decroption that it doesnt work with the " Train Basese"  plugin. 

The TC falls of the trains when I train is moved with that plugin. ( Supplied Video to maker of Train Bases so they could colab with you to try to get it working).

Hello! The author has informed me of the problem. When changing the TC skin, the new TC doesn't connect to that moving building. That's the problem. We'll investigate and see what we can do.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience with today's update. I've rolled back the update. I'll try to explore in more detail what happened and why the TCs are being removed. In my tests, everything worked fine, but I suspect the problem comes after a server restart.

What exactly isn't working? Could you please give me some details about the problem? Also, which TCs disappeared from your server? Was it all of them or just related to plugins like Train Bases, Barges, etc.?

I'll take a look today, but any information is welcome.

Only the TCs were destroyed because of the new update. This can happen, there is no guarantee that something will go wrong. The plugin is still a great plugin and you can see that the plugin creator puts a lot of value into his work. 🙂 The plugin works perfectly.

It was all tool cabinets. I don't argue that it is not a great plugin. But when I got notification that 25 players had lost the entire base or partial loss and I had to find and scramble to place toot cabinets in everyones base. I also use this as a vip item. The plugin is fantastic. And I get no guarantees but when you have 25 people upset it is not so easy. As for basements I noticed it was after the decay and changes to the base. Not sure. Just thought I would mention it. 

Thanks

can you maybe make an option so only Admins can bypass the options also?
so when a players base has been attacked, or something is damaged we can repair it with the same DLC type.

Also with the wallpapers

So bassicly an Bypass DLC ownership check
and a bypass for the admin

It’s unfortunate that this happened, but the change is important, and I’m sure the developer is doing everything possible to resolve the issue. Take your time to continue doing such good work

You can't do what you're talking about; it's a way to circumvent FacePunch's restrictions and would go against their TOS. So you could be at risk if someone reports your server for being banned for it.

I know, it's silly, but I don't want people to take this risk and end up with their servers getting banned.

Hi! Make a backup and update the plugin. Please let me know if this problem occurs again. And if it does, let me know if these are regular database TCs or special plugins.

Error while compiling BetterTC: 'BuildingBlock' does not contain a definition for 'CanPickup' and no accessible extension method 'CanPickup' accepting a first argument of type 'BuildingBlock' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) | Line: 2888, Pos: 66

i thought i reported this previously but it appears i never did but the same issue with the TCs breaking, i had previously when using the Jetpacks plugin. This was a few wipes ago but i forgot to report. Im not sure if this newest update will work with that as well but it is something i wanted to mention just in case

Hi! Make sure you update the plugin and it will work fine.

What was your issue with JetPacks and dissapearing tcs? I had a few bases lost last wipe and in the last several wipes and still haven't 100% found the cause.

I just got around to updating BetterTC, I had it unloaded before this. As soon as I loaded BetterTC everyone on t he entire server lost their external TCS and any tcs that weren't a part of their main base. Anyone else seen an issue like this?

Do you have a backup of the existing TCs? I'd like to try it on my test server. If you could send it to me privately, I could try it out.

So far, no one has reported any issues related to BetterTC.

No, We are waiting to load it back in. We think it has to do with dlc.

Pretty much anywhere near where one was equipped and flown it broke the tcs in that area. no errors or anything popped but it happened IMMEDIATELY after i loaded Jetpacks and equipped it.
